Intermittent Electricity Doesn't Stop Me from Sewing!

Our electricity has been going off and on but the roads are clear of ice! Woot! Ironically, the tree limbs are breaking off because the ice is so thick. They say the unseasonable warm weather of the last few weeks is the reason the ice isn't on the grass or pavement. Yipee! Jason and Dylan will make it from Dallas and everyone else lives here in OKC. Looks like the family will be together tomorrow. I'll take pics this time with my real camera...no camera phone. I did get an Oklahoma Beauty block stitched up:

My stash of large florals is about exhausted. I'm going to have to get creative. I'm close to being finished and still haven't decided on setting the blocks. You know, this electricity situation has made me want a treadle machine more than ever. I know some people have them and I'd like a new one. They make them for remote locations in South America where villages don't have electricity. They are about the quality you can buy as a regular machine at Walmart. Oh well, adding that to my "when I win the lottery" list. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! Cheery wave from Bev

I use my treadle for all of my quilting! I paid $50 for one and $25 for the other. The $25 one is on sick leave until I take the time to find a part I lost in the move though. Keep your eye on Craigslist, thy are usually easy to clean up, and Singers are very easy to find parts for. Check out treadleon.net for more info.

have a lovely time with the family. I used to love the old treadle Dad had, when I think back do not know what he did with it as I was already stitching when it disappeared, if he was still here I would be ticking him of about not giving it to me! Helen my daughter had just inherited a singer hand machine, she does not sew so hoping to be allowed to have a play with it but not so sure about having only one hand free to feed my fabric through.

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

"The moment that you left me,my heart was split in two;one side was filled withmemories; the other sidedied with you.I often lay awake at night whenthe world is fast asleep;and take a walk down memorylane with tears upon my cheek.Remembering you is easy,I do it every day;but missing you is a heartachethat never goes away.I hold you tightly within my heartand there you will remain;you see, life has gone onwithout you, but will never bethe same". Blair Robertson

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!

Yes, yes it is...

Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love. They depart to teach us about loss.
